At the BMS cut-out the saturation freeze held the last request for hours
(+5000 W for 11.87 h on 09-06, +1940 W for 3 h 55 m on 09-19) until the grid
error changed sign. compute() now carries a refused direction: after
SETTLE_CYCLES of a ~0 W reading against a larger ask it holds that direction
at 0 W, probes 200 W (below the gate's 250 W) every 15 minutes, and lets go
on charge, an answered probe, stop/start or another writer. A stale-reading
trip on a frozen ~0 W reading seeds the same hold, which ends SAFETY-59's
~70 s cycle. One inverter only; no SoC in the loop (SAFETY-25 Option A).
test_refusal.py drives the real Controller and gate; tools/replay_refusal.py
replays the 16-day capture. test_clamp.py and test_delivery.py re-baselined
where they asserted the old hold. DECISIONS/SAFETY-52 has the record and what
SAFETY-58/59 must take into account.
